Photographed on Noko Island five years ago. In the summer sun, I was attracted to the quaint shops.

Found a nice izakaya in Kanda today. The name is Kakuuchi Inagaki (角打 いながき). I think that's the reading for the kanji at least... The place had a really nice atmosphere and some really good food at very reasonable prices. I ordered the Saba no Shioyaki (さばの塩焼き, salt grilled mackerel) and it was really tasty and only cost 750 yen as well. Definitely a nice place to drop by for some after work drinks with a friend or coworker or just for lunch like I did. It seems like they serve nikomi and oden later at night as well, so if you like that I definitely recommend it.

Spring is all about cherry blossoms. Among them, the cherry blossoms blooming in Ohori Park in Fukuoka, the illumination at night, and as the name suggests, the cherry blossoms reflected on the surface of the moat are exceptional, and they show a very beautiful and fantastic appearance of cherry blossoms.

Was in Kanda the other day for an errand and stopped by this place called "Soba Dokoro Kameya" (そば処 かめや) outside of Kanda Station. It says "立食い" which means "standing noodles," but I didn't actually see any places to stand and eat so maybe it just meant that it was simple and quick like a standing noodle shop. I've never actually experienced what it's like to eat at a standing noodle restaurant (and actually stand while eating) but I think I prefer sitting anyways. I like to relax when I eat so I suppose that's why, but I should at least try it once, who knows, I might like it. Anyways, the place seems really affordable. I ordered the Ten Tama Soba since it was the most popular dish and it tasted great. The soup was really good and the egg was perfectly cooked. The texture of the noodles was also perfect. It's definitely a place to check out if your in the Kanda area and looking for some noodles. I think they may only be open during the morning and night, but I went around 4pm so maybe they close around that time to prepare for dinner.

This is one photo taken on the promenade in Fukuoka Prefecture. I was fascinated by the red that began to change color at the beginning of autumn and took a picture. Instead of just taking pictures of colored trees, I made the photos interesting by shooting similar colors such as "green and red electric lights on the ground" and "green leaves and leaves starting to turn red." There are many things in everyday life that look interesting from a different perspective.

Rice ears and you shine shiny He says this is his first rice harvesting experience. This young lady is unfamiliar at first, and I am anxiously in my heart. I was talking, but maybe because I'm young, in less than an hour. I was working hard to harvest new rice to make a crispy offering to God. It's been hard and hard to work all the time. While answering with a smile, she successfully performed the ritual. Such a healthy smile of accomplishment to everyone!
